I have no words to describe what wonderful thing you have done. I hope that you will continue writing these stories. I have been looking for a story like this with Lucy for a long time and you have done it. She is my favorite. Excellent work! :-)

Just got caught up with this... and I have to say, beautifully done! Lucy is my favorite and I love seeing so many sides of her. I tried to think of something to suggest but all I came up with was: Wise, forgivening, and nurchuring. I'm not sure what you'll do with those but even if you don't use them I'm still looking forward to future chapters.

This was wonderful! I found Mrs. Lovestock placing a rose on Lucy's grave poignant because it means her student had a profound effect on her that spanned many years. It just shows the reader Lucy was a person who left a lasting impression on the hearts of those she touched. Indeed, Lucy is wise beyond her years.

Thanks for posting this. I think you portrayed Lucy's resilience well in this chapter. I like how she learned to accept the fact that she was never returning to Narnia and made this negative into a positive instead; she's able to see light in the darkest of times. It is just one of her many admirable qualities.

Lovely chapter as always. I love how you show Lucy's strength here, and it was also a neat way to get in Eustace's drawing skills (we can guess he must have them, given his interest in studying insects).

Please keep writing, and I'm sorry for not reviewing earlier!

P.S. One minor error - at one point you refer to Eustace's drawing as a "hand-drawn photo"; you might want to substitute "hand-drawn image". It's tiny and does not detract from the story's quality as all, but you might want to fix it for continuity's sake. :-)
